Stannon circle submitted by sem on 29th Jun 2005. Stannon Circle is only one of many circles and monuments in this area, all of which seem to be focussed on Little Rough Tor (seen in the background). This siting of monuments around peaks is very common in Cornwall and Wales.

Saith Maen SE
Date Added: 11th Jun 2012
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 24th Mar 2008
Saith Maen SE submitted by sem on 24th Mar 2008. In between hail storms.
This is certainly one of the most unusual sites I've visited as the stones are set on a bare rock surface.
The walk there is a nightmare. Only just over a mile but across scree slopes, bogs and dense, tussocky grass.

Robin How
Date Added: 20th Jul 2017
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 8th Jul 2017
Robin How submitted by sem on 8th Jul 2017. Robin How Cairn together with an unnamed cairn form a pair on the horizon when approached by the track. Joanie Howe Cairn is behind Robin How and does not become visible until you reach the latter. Joanie How and the unnamed cairn then form another pair on the horizon.
This pairing of cairns is very similar to the arrangements found in South Wales.

Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 5th May 2005
Rhyd Wen Fach submitted by sem on 5th May 2005. This site is listed in RCHAM as both a circle and a setting. The circle needs a bit of imagination to see with the eye, never mind with a camera.

Looking East. The bank of this ring cairn is far more pronounced from a distance and produced the standard "Let's look at that lump over there" from Pab.

Rhossili Down Cairn 2 submitted by sem on 12th Mar 2013. Just one of many cairns....
Site in West Glamorgan Wales
... presumably why it was given such a romantic name by the Glam Gwent AT. It is one of the more easy to find as the kerbing is obvious.
